IV. C ONCLUSION
This paper has proposed a novel dual-rotor, axial field,
fault-tolerant FSPMM in which the phase-group concentrated-
coil windings and the unaligned arrangement of the
two rotors are used. The superiority of the proposed FSPMM
has been introduced through the design criteria and the
operating principle, and was verified by the comparison with

two conventional FSPMMs. Based on the 3-D FEM analysis
results, it has been demonstrated that the proposed FSPMM
exhibits significantly improved performance with not only
high torque (power) density but also low cogging torque and
torque ripple.
